Guild Wars 2

For a while now I have been getting low fps no matter what settings I play on. In central tyria i ranges from 20fps to 40 fps and in areas like Verdant Brink I get no more than 20 fps. If i decrease or increase my settings there is only a 1 or 2 frame difference.
My specs are i5 4200U quad core 1.6ghz and AMD Radeon HD 8870M. My RAM is 8gb.

I play on a laptop but my specs should be fine for medium settings.

By chance, are you using the 64-bit client? Also, the HoT maps take up a considerable amount of your GPU, which could be why. I know that Verdant Brink, especially near the Itzel Way Point, is hard for both my laptop and my desktop. It is much more noticeable on my laptop, as it has significantly less dedicated memory.

I am not using the 64 bit client although I do have a 64 bit OS

I recommend downloading that, there are instructions in this thread to help you. Personally, I noticed a 10-15 frame rate improvement on my laptop. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately it didnt do the same for me

Awwww ): I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help. At least you should have less crashes, if you had any, while on the 64-bit client.

If anything it was more buggy :/ but at least I know that there will be a 62 bit launcher soon when it comes out of beta.

Buggy in which way? There is another bug right now that causes the game to seem like it’s lagging or has a high ping (when it doesn’t). It’s as if the game is stuttering. Check here because that could possibly be playing a part on what you are experiencing.
